I anchored at Manchoineel Bay the night of January 1st. I chose to anchor behind the mooring field to the west of the field in 60 feet of water. If I had to do it again I would choose to tuck in to the northwest of Cistern point, as some rollers came through at 4 AM, likely wrapping around Quart-a-Nancy Point. However, if you are just stopping for lunch, a quick anchor really should not be a problem. The bottom is grass and sand. I had no problem setting my plow anchor.
